Napoli are ready to rival Inter Milan for the signature of Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Rasmus Hojlund looks to be attracting a fair bit of transfer interest from Serie A.

For one thing, Inter Milan have reportedly made the Dane one of their top targets in attack. They still rate him highly based on his season at Atalanta in the 2022-23 campaign.

However, it is not just the Nerazzurri eyeing up a move for Hojlund.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Italian champions Napoli also consider Hojlund a target.

There is little doubt that the Partenopei will sign a striker this summer. They want to strengthen in attack by providing a backup option and competition for Romelu Lukaku.

The Gazzetta note that Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez looks to be Napoli’s top target. Meanwhile, the Partenopei are also keen on Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca.

However, negotiations for Nunez and Lucca have not been straightforward.

Therefore, Napoli are looking at alternative targets. And the Gazzetta report that Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund is right up there on the champions’ shortlist.

Like Inter, Napoli still believe that Hojlund can thrive in Serie A. In spite of a couple underwhelming campaigns at Old Trafford.

And unlike Inter, the Gazzetta notes, Napoli could move right away.

Inter are on the verge of signing Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma. Now, they will have to offload Mehdi Taremi before they can move for Rasmus Hojlund.

Moreover, the Nerazzurri are aiming to sign the 22-year-old on an initial loan deal with a purchase option.

On the other hand, the Gazzetta report, Napoli can move for Hojlund right away. Therefore, if they decide to step up their pursuit then they could have a decisive advantage over Inter.
